Now it's only a rumour BUT there is "talk" that SDI has achieved a 100 score from USPH (US Public Health) just recently.

 

If that is true......then congratulations to ALL onboard.

An outstanding achievement bearing in mind the age of the vessel.

 

Anybody out there able to confirm this ?

 

HH,

 

We are very excited to meet all the staff on Seadream 1! Congrats to them on a perfect score!...Seadream in Venice!! What could be more romantic!? 🍷😍

 

Kathy.

The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.

 

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

 

Thank god, my English language skills (written and spoken) are so bad ... :D

It’s official…Britain has gone to the dogs!

 

A most amazing spectacle was witnessed yesterday when the serf masses lined the streets of that quaint medieval hamlet of Leicester and gawked, wagged their tails and yapped in reverence to acknowledge a box of bones dug up recently which were discovered under space 13 of a municipal car park.

 

Yes… a revered King, a Richard 3RD variety, made famous by a brainy bloke who wore pantaloons and answered to the name Willie the Shake, who was apparently unceremoniously dumped six feet under in 1485 and covered in concrete though there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Irish Republican terrorists were involved.

 

Yes…it’s the “Car Park King” being laid to rest once again after spending the last 530 years lying down and resting. It is believed that he was bestowed with such a grand title in acknowledgement of his fighting prowess, winning countless bloody battles in the field and as a legacy, of what is now deemed immense foresight, declared the scene of each of his victories should be marked in the future by the building of a car park. Unfortunately for him, his last fateful battle, his dying wish to be buried among unsullied pasture was completely ignored as space 13 loomed…

 

“Ah… wait a minute” I faintly hear you cry…(wake up you ungrateful sods, this is history being remade in the making). Car Park King?

 

The salty dogs amongst yourselves will no doubt declare that the real Car Park King is none other than Sir Donald Gosling of Nation Car Park fame (thank you Mr Goering) the owner of that beautiful motor yacht Leander ($ 250,000 for a week charter by the way Mr Hum).

 

The day’s entertainment was not only restricted to staring gormlessly and slavering over a box of bones but a growing thirst could be satisfied by downing flagons of mead served in Ye Old Tacky Worldly Inn by buxom wenches with playful jesters to annoy the hell out of you.

 

I think it’s only right and proper, nay… subject’s duty, to join in this bone celebrating vibe that is currently sweeping Britain and pop down to Ye Old Worldly KFC and join the bone stripping hordes and gorge my way through a prehistoric family box of fifteen brontosaurus legs and seven pterodactyl wings and then charge the gullible masses a florin or two to witness the most incredible dinosaur bone find since, err… the last one.

 

Woe, woe and thrice woe… what is the root cause of this outbreak of historical madness?

 

I blame Britain's Chancellor, Gideon 5 days on 2 days off diet Osbourne. He really has taken this economic austerity malarkey a bit far and rather than being back in 1935, he set the Tardis time machine knob a little too far back and we now find ourselves in the 15TH Century with the serf masses prepared to queue for four hours to sniff at a box of bones.

 

Just the thought of it all has made me hot under the dog collar. I need to lap at some cool water from my bowl and have my tummy tickled by one of those buxom wenches. “Oi Jester…b****r off!

 

Britain in 2015…it really has gone barking mad.

Haha

A jolly good piece my friend.........loved it.

More, more, bravo, bravo....HH shouts !

 

Now many from abroad will probably be asking if they found the king in the car park, what happened to his car ?

Haha

 

But dear MACT you must admit it is an amazing discovery. Then there was afierce argument where he should be buried....people got quite agitated.

 

There was a lottery to attend this "royal circus" and people entered from as far away as Australia !

Are they completely nuts ?

 

By the way, talking lf things royal. HH and Blondie popped by Buckingham Palace & Lancaster Palace earlier today en route to Bob Bob Ricard for a most fabulous meal in this Russian styled restaurant.

 

The Virenki was divine accompanied by an Ayala champagne (taken over by Bollinger...so molly sound stuff).

Only fault were diner opposite who was animatedly talking about his business going "tits up" ....so boring: we moved.

 

Later a rather excited middle aged lady would not stop talking in the green leather lined booth opposite but we had practically finished our meal by thenbut it quite soured the Earl Grey !

 

What new event will tickle your fancy ?

Please nothing about politicians and their kitchens !

None of our elected representatives have a clue what they are doing in the kitchen. Milliband photo shows him staring apparently mesemerised sayi g to himself "so this is a kitchen is it" ?

 

Ho Hum awaits with baited breath.......

[ho-hum]

Enes is the new Hotel Manager (replacing Pierre) !

 

Awaiting full confirmation by ctbjr1309: the true Oracle !

 

Oh how exciting !

 

But who is going to be the replacement maitre d' ?

HH just had an accident !

HH,

Word is!...they are about to offer you the job! Haha!:D

[ho-hum]

HH cannot confirm it but the rumour is he has a job in a hotel in Santiago, Chile.

After that HH's "lips are sealed".

[ho-hum]

We wish him the best but we will be very sorry to see him leave SD. Pierre is the consummate professional and I am always surprised when I remember how really young he is.

[ho-hum]

About 18 months ago, a dear friend from Croatia gave HH a bottle of great Croatian wine.

HH said he would'nt drink it until there was a special ocassion.

An hour ago HH had that reason.

Congratulations Enes.

Love you Coral & the beautiful Leah.

[ho-hum]

Our esteemed travel correspondent Mr Hum puts his life on the line for us eternally ungrateful sods (or did you send in Blondie and wait in a fast car outside?) to report back on his findings of lunching “Russian style”.

 

Frisked at the door, shadowy figures seen through curtains, and a spy in the midst being the “animated talker” at no extra charge. Did you not realise “Tits up” is the KGB code for “undertake whatever action is required to eliminate this clear and present danger to the security of Putinland”?

 

It is believed that the "now taken care of" Alexander Litvinenko was equally unaware of such a predicament he was in when he “enjoyed” what turned out to be his last supper at Boo Hoo Ricard or anywhere in fact and happily went ahead and chose the dessert "recommendation" of the maître de, namely the clootie dumpling or whatever the Russian equivalent is.

 

Maybe it has already started, the poison is taking effect… Mr Hum is starting to hallucinate about a counter.

 

Nurse…nurse!!!!

Enes was born for that job, he'll be great. I cracked open my special reserve, 2014 Amstel Light to celebrate (I'm all out of Croatian beer). Good move SeaDream.

Love both those guys. I wish the best to Pierre and will really miss him. Congrats to Enes, well deserved! He will do a great job.

Have you been over doing the blonde hair dye Kathy !

You are supposed to put on your hair NOT drink it !

Hic !

 

Sadly Kathy, HH was rejected as CEO as they said HH's intelligence does'nt "go to the top floor" ! Whatever that means.

But Sea Dream management thanked Ho Hum for giving them all a great laugh !

They did however think HH would be a perfect fit as:

 

Assistant Regional Sales Organiser Lower Eastside......though you could just use the initials

 

The said HH certainly looks and sounds the part. Praise indeed !

 

Who's laughing now ? Miss Smarty-Pants !

Cold and wet here in the "posh part" ! Oh the Caribbean was beautiful this year.
